"Explanation is just covering up... No, I didn't make the call, and I don't believe you checking my phone!" Tao Bao concealed his panic and struggled desperately.
"Check your assistant's phone?" Si Minghan looked at her coldly, his silent pressure more powerful than words.
"..." Tao Bao was horrified. She didn't believe Si Minghan had planted a bug in her phone, otherwise this would have happened long ago! She used her assistant's phone to call, and he saw through it?? Wisdom teeth were already uncomfortable, and now she had to deal with something like this. She instinctively felt annoyed. "This is so f*cking annoying..."
Si Minghan's dark eyes froze, narrowing slightly and looking at her dangerously, "What did you just say?"
Tao Bao realized the terrifying atmosphere and quickly changed his words, "I was talking about how annoying Tao Chumo is, not you! Regarding this situation... I did call Si Yuanqi, but for the sake of cooperation, I wanted to cut my losses immediately. There were no other emotions involved. I just wanted to resolve the situation!"
"So, I am the last person you thought of." Si Minghan looked at her with cold black eyes, and his words were so certain.
"No, I don't think so!"
"I changed your phone, how do you know Si Yuanqi's contact information?" Si Minghan continued to ask.
Tao Bao was forced into a corner with almost no way to retreat, and the words he wanted to blurt out were stuck in his throat.
What would she say? Would she say she'd never forgotten Si Yuanqi's phone number? Even if it wasn't intentional, she'd touched Si Minghan's sore spot. What good would her innocence do...
"...I didn't save his number..." Tao Bao had to answer, otherwise he would have something to hide.
Si Minghan stared at her without saying a word, as if he wanted to devour her completely.
Tao Baoqi answered, and it can be interpreted from the side that he did not save the number, but just remembered it in his mind.
"But there's really nothing between Si Yuanqi and me. We're just passing through..."
"Eat." Si Minghan interrupted Tao Bao coldly and continued eating, suppressing his emotions forcibly.
Tao Bao was worried and didn't know what was going on.
She wouldn't be so naive as to think that love would just pass like this!
The temperature in the box was like an ice cellar, and the horrible atmosphere didn't change at all!
She was so close to Si Minghan, bearing the brunt of the damage! She didn't dare to move at all!
Tao Bao didn't know how to explain himself, so for the time being he could only drink the soup silently while racking his brains to think.
When she drank the third cup, Si Minghan's low and cold voice came down, "Is eating with me hard for you to swallow?"
Tao Bao raised his eyes and shrank back weakly at the dark eyes of his boss Minghan. The spoon in his hand scooped the soup, and a drop of soup fell into the bowl.
With a dazed expression, he said weakly, "My tooth hurts..."
"Will eating with Si Yuanqi give you a toothache?"
"..." Tao Bao bit her lip. This man was totally unconvinced! Didn't he look for her? Did she really have a toothache?
It hurts even more now!
Under Si Minghan's gaze, Tao Bao had no choice but to pick up a piece of meat and stuff it into his mouth. He pushed the meat to the side with the tip of his tongue and chewed it slowly.
But no matter how careful he was, the meat still touched the swollen gums on the other side after being chewed. The pain was so severe that Tao Bao swallowed the meat without chewing it.
Putting the chopsticks on the table, he said, "Tao Chumo put this thing there on purpose. She wants you to misunderstand me, give me a bad look, or even tell me to get lost. It's impossible for me to see that, can you not see it? Yes, I did call Si Yuanqi, but it was also to deal with the situation, not for any selfish reasons! If the situation could be resolved before the cooperation, why did she have to let you know and get angry after the cooperation? I really can't eat anymore, you eat it!"
After Tao Bao finished speaking, she didn't care whether Si Minghan had heard her words or not. She had explained it so clearly anyway, so she took out her cell phone and started working on it.
She knew that such an explanation was of no use to the domineering and possessive Si Minghan.
Not to mention the act of remembering Si Yuanqi's contact information!
Therefore, after she finished speaking, the atmosphere in the box did not change, but became even more severe.
When she lowered her head to play with her mobile phone, but was actually on guard against Si Minghan, her jaw tightened, making her body stiff with fear and panic inside.
She raised her head slightly, her gaze forced into her boss's cold, dark eyes.
Tao Bao was nervous and terrified. Was he going to do something to her? What bad luck had she gotten herself into…
"Open."
"???" Tao Bao's nervousness and fear turned into confusion. After realizing what it meant, he slowly opened his mouth into a flat circle.
I wondered, was he suspecting she was lying? Or was he just... concerned...
Tao Bao's thoughts turned, and her beautiful brows furrowed. "Ah, it hurts..." She raised her hands to cover her face. "It really hurts. I haven't eaten much these past few days. It's my wisdom teeth that haven't come out yet, and my gums are red and swollen..."
Si Minghan glanced at her, his face was cold and unfriendly, but it was obviously much warmer than before!
Tao Bao complained in his heart, "All my explanations are useless, like farting. Is it useful for toothache?"
"Don't talk." Si Minghan lifted her chin, turned on the flashlight on his cell phone, and shone it on Tao Bao's mouth.
Beautiful white teeth, a cute red tongue that was trembling, the wisdom tooth at the innermost part of the teeth was red and swollen, and the surrounding area was also red and swollen.
"Ah..." Tao Bao frowned in pain, pushed Si Minghan's hand away, covered his mouth, and said pitifully, "It hurts to keep my mouth open... I really can't eat, you eat it!"
"You treat me to a meal even though you have a toothache?" Si Minghan asked in a low voice. The temperature in the box was warm.
"Then I don't have anything to show off..." Tao Bao said weakly.
Si Minghan looked at her with an aggressive look. After a moment, he called the restaurant owner and ordered some liquid food with high-end ingredients for Tao Bao.
It was served soon, and Si Minghan had a green sensation every time he ate.
Tao Bao ate while trying to guess what Si Minghan was thinking.
Maybe the rain has stopped and the sky is clearing up...
"Does it still hurt?" Si Minghan stared at her eating and asked.
Tao Bao was about to shake his head, but then he rolled his eyes and said seriously, "It still hurts a little... but it's okay, I can bear it!"
"Eat slowly."
"...Yeah." Tao Bao seemed flattered.
Just now she thought that Tao Chumo's emotional atmosphere had become terrible, but now the change made her a little excited.
"You eat too!" Tao Bao did not forget to greet him. "After all, today is my treat!"
When leaving, Tao Bao followed silently and walked out of the restaurant. The boss behind him was waiting for the waiter with his back bent.
When Tao Bao was lowering her head and thinking about love, the tall figure in front of her suddenly stopped, causing her to bump into Si Minghan's back.
She stepped back in panic, covering her bumped nose.
